First c5

Well, i finally dabbled off into the corvette world. I just recently sold my 02 turbocharged ws6 and bought a super clean 2000 c5. Car has factory hud and 3.15s.
Took her to the track and did some tuning via hp tuners and got the car down to a 13.27@105 with a 2.05 60'. The cars bone stock minus what tuning i did, a tsp axel back, and some old 315 drag radials.
My first round of mods will be a VaraRam setup, a set of 1 7/8 headers, off road x pipe, a cam in the 230-234 range, and a fti 3200 stall converter. Im particularly looking at the brian tooley stg3 cam and the fti sb3200Ls converter.
I would think that with this list of mods i should be able to get the car into the 11s. Anyone running this combo? Any real life numbers hp or et running around? Thanks.

I think the C5 is one of the best looking corvettes made, and that's coming from a C6.

Make sure you have plenty of transmission cooling. it was a thing with some of them. There was even a dealer option factory kit to cool the manual.

Like that series of vette a lot..
